Cavalier dark chocolate with cocoa nibs is nice, it doesn't taste quite as bitter as some dark chocolate. 40gram bar is only 7 grams of carbs and is sweetened with stevia. They do a huge range.

Hi, I was diagnosed Type 1 June 20th June this year, I am 52 nearly, my hair started falling out about a month after taking Novorapid and Lantus. I only had to run my fingers through my hair and I had a handful. I went to the doctors and had blood tests done, he said it was my age. In the last...

Hello, Thanks for your reply, I take my Lantus at 9 am now but I have taken it at 6 am and then I went on morning and night doses 6 am and 11 pm, then 6 am and 6 pm, now as I said one injection now 9 am. All the above have had the same effects that is why I had to come off night time. My last...

Hello, Thanks for your reply, evening meal about 7/7.30 pm, don't do a correction before bed as I have tried that and I ended up dropping like I am now and having hypos, I am very fortunate as in the night I don't have the sweating just shaking with hunger so to speak and it does wake me...

Thank you very much Julie

Hello, Thanks for your reply, yes I carb count and match my insulin to my food, and I am half way through the book. Before starting LCHF I ate a very healthy diet chicken or fish and lots of vegetables, also too many almonds and brazil nuts I know they are low carb but not if you eat excess...

Hello, You carry on ranting I don't mind, as soon as I was diagnosed I got stuck in with finding out as much information I can. Because I am the only person that can help myself so I just deal with it day to day. I look at this website everyday for information, as I said in an earlier reply I...

Thanks very much and I wish you all the very best.

Hello, Thanks for your reply, yes it was diabetic ketoacidosis that was stated on my discharge paperwork. Perhaps it is wishful thinking. All the best Julie

Hi Pete, Thanks for the reply, I have just ordered the book off Amazon so that will be something else to digest. I have had a few hypos but I am fortunate as I get the sweating and shakes and that very odd feeling, so I can act quite quickly. My moods have changed a lot but my DN says "it is...

I hope it continues to get better for you, I am dealing with it day by day and I am reading as much as I can as well as looking on here. What I find difficult is there are no set rules, so it is a case of being armed with the right information I suppose. The last few months have just been filled...

Thanks very much, I did look at the book with a view to buying it.

Thanks for your reply, I saw my diabetic nurse last week but she said just stick with what you are doing and I will see you in 2 months time. The dietitian rings me once a week and keeps altering my ratio for insulin.
